YourTube 2 Hits Cydia with Sweet New Feature

[Michael Essany]

I don't want to over-dramatize the sweetness of YourTube 2, a new app which is now available via Cydia, but this neat little arrival to our app world certainly, at least from my perspective, falls into the category of "this app is so cool I'm bummed about having to write this article and take time away from actually enjoying it."

If you're wondering, this app is, indeed, unique from the original YourTube and comes packed with new features, one of which is simply amazing and makes it worth this honorable mention. In a nutshell, you can now add movies/downloaded videos to your iPod Library. That is, you download a movie directly from YouTube.app and then you can add it to your iPod library from there.

YourTube 2 comes to us by way of a dev group called Cocoanuts, which includes the likes of francis and westbaer and copumpkin among others we are fans of. Hosted by MMi in Cydia, YourTube 2 is now available and ready for you to enjoy on this long holiday weekend... although we're pretty sure the first vid you download from YouTube for later viewing on your iPod won't be Chris Martin's performance from last week's Apple event

EDIT: Oh, and good to know as well: the tweak is free if you bought YourTube after July 1, $1 upgrade if you bought it before July 1, and $5 if you've never owned it. And it fully supports the iPhone 4.

This app is amazing!!..can't wait for YouTube to get full movies..n I can't wait for the safari downloader manager to get this function..even though I like iTunes it would be nice to have a portable way to "sync" my iPhone

[Jedi5o5]

Does this work with the iPhone 4?

I'm gonna have to do the $1 upgrade. =\

[disenchanted]

My favorite new feature is that it doesn't work. I downloaded about 10 videos last night, restarted my phone, and now it has one of them in the downloaded section and keeps redownloading the same 3 videos every time I open the app. The other six are nowhere to be found inside the app but are clear as day inside the YourTube folder in iFile. Even after removing the app, deleting the already downloaded videos and reinstalling it the app does the same damn thing every time. Worthless app, waste of a dollar. I'll keep using MiTube because, you know, it works and WAS FREE.

Not that great, I still got that MiTube from the AppStore when it was there and it does the same crap.
